Things not going well for James Franklin [FIRED]
I don't understand how PSU would go after one of the elite coaches. They pay Franklin's buyout, then they would go buyout another elite coach for betwen $30-50 million, then they would hire that coach at a premium contract of 10+ mil per year for x years plus have to pony up big time for staff, and THEN he will want NIL assurances. You are talking about a $150 Million proposition. That is bananas. The most likely scenario is either Rhule or Campbell. If Rhule leaves voluntarily, the buyout is $5 million. If Campbell takes another P4 coaching job, his buyout is $2 million

Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
I know there is a reason Hutson is starting over Robertson, but I didn't really see an appreciable difference when he had to come in earlier in the season. Baxter... holy shit man. Heal!

I am sure to quite sure that he will get pressured back for the Texas game. The same way Ruben Owens tried to magically heal last year, and the same way Mateer tried to magically unsurgery last week.

Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
I think the difference is that it is not going to be hard to get up for a "down" SEC game the same way it is hard to get up for some of the B12 bullshit we had to deal with. Fucking Baylor was simultaneously impossible to care about but you also wanted to see them get beat by 70 for being a shit heel of a program. Houston? Yeah ok. TCU? Fuck, we should have been charging them to come play. The difference in an SEC game is that the guys on the other side generally look a lot like you, even on the bad teams.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
I was always a bit puzzled by Choice's evals over some other guys. He seemed to value everything but speed and being a playmaker. Caden Durham was a guy that I was shocked they bypassed for Gibson, considering we were going so heavy on Collin Simmons from the same school.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Elko is a good coach, but I do love that people are trying to connect him to the Penn State opening. Nothing would make me happier than to have A&M over rotate on another head coach and go all in with a 12 million per year number or something stupid. They would be so screwed for NIL if they did that.

At this rate of improvement, we won't have another competitive game until 2033.- OU Football 2025 - Cheated Its Way To a Backdoor CFP Appearance
It was known even in the offseason that Mateer was likely going to have a really hard time with the Texas defense. He was great at Wazzu against lower competition, but the moment he faced great defenses he imploded. My theory all year is that he wouldn't have anything around him to help, and that is exactly what happened. The defense rattled him, and I would be willing to be some money that Venables is gone after this season, if not before.- Things not going well for James Franklin [FIRED]
Matt Campbell is the guy I would be going for if I were Penn State. Matt Campbell's buyout depends on the scenario: if he leaves to take another "Power 4" coaching job, the buyout is a $2 million penalty to Iowa State. However, if Iowa State were to fire him without cause, the buyout would be approximately $35.4 million as of December 1, 2025.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
You can split hairs all you want, but I would call no turnovers and 11-12 on third downs with a touchdown an A performance. As inept as OU was on offense, that is still an elite defense that he was having to navigate all day.- OU Football 2025 - Cheated Its Way To a Backdoor CFP Appearance

He literally just tanked a shot at the playoffs for a slightly higher chance of not losing to Texas in Dallas. There is zero chance I would be playing Matter until he is actually ready to go. They could have endured another loss and still been ok if it meant getting right and winning out.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible

Absolutely this. Arch was a warrior today, the kid stood tall in there and got his ass kicked and still gave us chances at the end. Happy to see us switch out Stroh for Brooks, that seemed to calm the pocket a bit.- 2025 Game Week 5: Texas at Florida
If Manny doesn't play I am a little uncomfortable with our secondary situation this week in terms of covering guys down field. Gilbeau can be had, and Kobe Black isn't particularly a burner. Knowing that Lagway's best trait is explosive downfield passes, I would much rather have guys with long speed this week on the outsides.- Tell Me About Texas a&m

What makes college football fun is the variety. Sure there are big money schools and small schools. In the moment some people may bitch about having some of their season ticket spend be for a game against UMass or Central Michigan, but at the end of the day the "historical success" was largely built off of playing those schools regularly. The viewing numbers go through the roof when Bama is struggling against a Louisiana Lafayette in the 4th quarter, or Texas is fumbling over its dick against UTEP. People love upsets. If Ohio State played nothing but bluebloods every year, they would have a slightly above .500 record, and most schools would have less. - OU Recruiting 2026: Burnt Vegetables
